Hey guys I know alot of you are frequent DDO forum trolls like I am so I am asking for some data on dispearing lost item threads.

I know there were a bunch of threads this weekend that concerned this and they keep dispearing...

I also saw another new one completely unrelated to the recent one with someone stating loss of two ingredients NOT in a bag at the time.

My questions are...How many of these threads have you guys seen recently?  Do they seem to be increasing in frequency?  What details have you seen that do not fit the normal mold (ie during lag o'clock, bags only dispearing with contents, shared bank to inventory is when loss seems to occur)?

List of abnormalities I have seen/heard about in regards to this subject

* Above listed epic ingredients transfered from two seperate toons to shared bank being gone upon logging into character that was going to take them out of the bank.
* Greater Reincarnate mess up during lag o'clock that broke the favor on the toon irreversably.  TR was only way to get things working again (since it wipes favor).  Leads to the impression that during lag o'clock data base errors are not restricted to shared bank errors alone.
* My own personal annoyance of losing a stack of epic dungeon tokens on a TR cache to inventory transfer.  Non lag o'clock and had an error message come up at the time.
* My own personal experimentation of transfering in tons of junk loot to the shared bank and out during NON lag o'clock finally lost a junk loot decon weapon.  No error flags came up, no feedback, no buy back as normal.
* Abbot eats your stuff probably unrelated bug reports.

I lost my large ingredient bag once for several days. Then I found it on a character I hadn't logged into for several days. Why would they move mah bag to that character?

BASTARDS!

Everyone can send me their LDS for safe keeping as I haven't lost any items on any of my toons.

Naturally this service will be free, but I cannot guarantee that said items won't be lost.

I don't see how deleting threads about disappearing items has anything to do with enforcing the CoC.  As much as I detest it, I at least understand the logic they use when enforcing the CoC.  Instead, this strikes me as a bullshit cover-up.

That is a good one.


I think Cordovan is pointing out an open thread about the issue before he closes them. I could be wrong though.

I've seen references to these 'other' threads, but there are less and less of them each time I look so not really.

my guild leader (neeysa,preemium w/e you know her as) lost her epic sos monday morning after having it crafted for 10 minutes. after 2 hours or so messing with mods or whoever she got it back. she had someone in guild take a screenshot of her linking it in guild chat. since it was recently crafted apparently they found it in logs of it being created. (she gave them the time of crafting it). so i suggest anyone making any epic versions of something to screenshot it and note the time/date to prove you actually had it.

Here's one they missed from last year

I'm still waiting on my Lit II Khopesh to be returned.

I was the person that had the Greater Reincarnate issue. It was clearly a lag o clock issue, everything completely froze for about 15 mins and I stupidly logged out to try and clear the issue.

I was more cross with myself than anything at not realising the time - I was playing in Japan at that point and lag o clock was part of my normal prime time experience.

Even an apology and a True Heart of Wood would have been better than the "we can't do anything, log a bug report" response. The GM in question was pretty sympathetic, could clearly see my favour and turn in status was broken but said they could do nothing else.

It was my only toon at the time, too (happened about May last year, I'd have to dig around to find the many bug reports I sent).

I heard about it for years.

But I'm taking the risk anyway, Bank and shared bank are too much valuable for me to avoid using them.

On one hand, At Lag'o'clock I'm usually not online, being either at work, or doing other stuff.
On the other hand, I'm being real careful with the items I put in banks ( I make sure they appear in the relevant place before doing something else)
